Developmental and behavioral determination of neural and muscular physiology

Morgan handily performs a broad spectrum of techniques to collect data for a number of research studies that are associated with the Nishikawa lab. These studies include: how skeletal muscle changes in aging mice, how skeletal muscle changes as a result of eccentric training in opossums and the modeling of cartilage types in Poecillia sphenops jaws using paraffin embedding and sectioning. Morgan is currently considering a number of graduate school programs to further his interests and understanding of physiology.
